Peppertree Plaza

Baker Construction & Development has completed the new office building for the Peppertree Hotel chain at Third Avenue and Division Street in Spokane, WA. Peppertree Plaza is home of the hotel chain as well as Einstein Bros. Bagels and the Man Shop on the ground floor.

At a groundbreaking ceremony, the planned 16,000 square-foot building was hailed as an important development in Downtown Spokane. It is the first thing drivers see upon exiting the freeway.

“This is a fantastic way to come into our great city,” Mayor David Condon said, noting the Peppertree Plaza construction coincides with recent landscaping improvements along Division between Third and Fourth avenues.

The $3.5 million building will have space for four or five restaurants and retail shops on the ground floor, said Rita Santillanes, who owns the property with her husband, John. Half of the top floor houses business offices for the couple’s four motels, a chain of Best Western Peppertree Inns. The other half is available to tenants.
